![]() The Louisiana-born, Compton-bred rapper initially introduced himself on the song “Skanless” off Quik’s debut, closing the album with a punchline that was guaranteed to tickle your fancy: “Boyfriend always talking ’bout doggy style / Wait a while – I can do it froggy style!” This was roughly 12 years before Ludacris suggested this rather mysterious sexual position on his hit “Splash Waterfalls”. Maybe it was because I always assumed there had to be some early DJ Quik production on it. Maybe I heard it at least partially back when it was new. Maybe it was the feeling that any Compton album from 1991 might be worth it. ![]() Why, you ask? To be honest, I’m not quite sure. Obviously this was a simple question of high demand and low supply, but why exactly so many people wanted this apparently rare but not exactly historic album remains a mystery to even me, and I tried to get a hold of that sucker for close to ten years (at a reasonable price, of course). ![]() We’re talking about anything between $50 and $100 for “Skanless” here. If in the past you tried to obtain “Swing’n” and especially “Skanless” online, you know you had to be prepared to pay a collector’s price for these albums. Just in time for his national comeback on Rap-A-Lot, the first two Hi-C albums have been re-issued.
